“This was my last T20 game for India…” Virat bids an emotional adieu to the shortest format

New Delhi: He came in like a Champion, he walks out like a King! That is the story of Virat Kohli and the 22 yards in the shortest format of a game. After winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, Kohli announced “This was my last T20 game playing for India. We wanted to lift that cup. [if he is confirming if this was his last T20I] Yes I have, this was an open secret. Wasn’t something that I was not going to announce even if we had lost. Time for the next generation to take the T20 game forward and do wonders as we have seen them do in the IPL.”


For a generation that grew up hearing the brilliance of Sachin, Kohli has been an absolute trailblazer for the current generation. He has been standing like an anchor often taking India to big match finals. However, a king without a crown and a player without a trophy, both look famished. But that trophy drought is over for both team India and Virat Kohli.

For a boy playing cricket in the by-lanes of South Delhi to eventually rule the game at the biggest stage, it has been a remarkable journey. Interestingly, Virat is the only cricketer to win the U-19 World Cup, the ODI World Cup, the Champions Trophy and finally the T20 World Cup. King Kohli has done his part in the shortest format of the game. Now, it is time for the next generation to uphold his legacy.

Fans react to the bittersweet moment

There has been an outpouring of emotions for King Kohli. Many prominent personalities, film stars and former cricketers have congratulated Virat for his remarkable journey. Kohli retired with 125 games, 4000 runs and the prayers of 1.4 billion people!
